As is usual, the proximity effect of closely-placed small-condenser mics were far too bassy, so I went back to my favorite solution for up-close foley and effects recording: The large-condenser mic.<\/p>\n<p>Today&#8217;s post is just a small smattering of these sounds. Depending on which pump type it is, they range from sounding silly to serious, low-tech to high-tech, smooth to rattly. These sessions were more exploratory than looking for library-quality; the more rattle-filled pumps probably won&#8217;t be as useful as the smoother-action ones. The Bilgemaster hand pump was the cleanest-sounding of them all, with basically no moving parts except the plunger and a small rubber valve. But, the pressure sprayers have pressure release valves on top which can be most useful for air release or hissing sounds!<\/p>\n<p>[soundcloud url=&#8221;http:\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/tracks\/18715196&#8243; params=&#8221;show_comments=true&amp;auto_play=false&amp;color=ee0000&#8243; width=&#8221;100%&#8221; height=&#8221;81&#8243; ]<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #888888;\">[R\u00c3\u00b8de NT1-A into Sound Devices 702]<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This thread on Social Sound Design made me start thinking about all the manual pumps I had in my shed: One hand sprayer for my fruit trees, one for cleaning off my kayaks with fresh water, and another for bilging out my kayak in case I get water in my cockpit.
